The graphene membrane, about the size of a fingernail, is less than 1 nanometer thick. (The thinnest existing membranes are about 20 nanometers thick.) ...

Desalination with nanoporous graphene membrane Date: March 25, 2015 Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory Summary: Desalination is an energy-intensive process, which concerns those wanting to ...

Graphene's ever-growing list of remarkable properties has seen many wide-reaching potential applications for the wonder material proposed, but actual demonstrations of real-world uses are still ...

Graphene membranes are excellent at separating gases because they can be engineered with pores just the right size to let CO 2 through while blocking larger molecules like nitrogen.

Researchers at the University of Manchester have developed a graphene-oxide membrane with a scalable, uniform pore size that can filter out even the smallest salts, giving it potential for ...

Chinese scientists have developed a breakthrough process that significantly improves the efficiency and environmental ...

Graphene membranes, on the other hand, require no heat input, and operate using simple pressure-driven filtration, significantly reducing energy consumption.

Graphene-based membranes are highly functional due to graphene’s lattice structure. They exhibit enhanced anti-fouling and antimicrobial activities, as well as contamination resistance. 1 Nano-porous ...

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change.But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists ...
